ecobabe Unplugged: A Journey Through Sustainability & Self-Healing

I AM DEEPLY INSPIRED BY KARENA AND HUMBLED TO HAVE BEEN A GUEST ON HER PODCAST

Her presence, compassion, and ability to hold space for real, transformative conversations is something I admire immensely. Our dialogue was not only meaningful—it was a mirror reflecting the journey I've been on and the purpose that fuels my everyday choices.

HERE IS WHAT OUR CONVERSATION ENTAILED:

What does it truly mean to live with intention—from the food we eat, to the candles we burn, to how we heal our inner child?

This week on The Big Silence, Karena sits down with sustainable living expert and “ecobabe” Monica Richards for an eye-opening, heart-filling conversation about how sustainability is more than composting—it’s a lifestyle of reverence, joy, and healing. Monica shares her journey from a farm girl in Michigan to a TV host, interior designer, and now a powerful advocate for the planet and our mental wellness.

From practical eco-hacks to personal stories of spiritual alchemy and boundary-setting, this episode is packed with accessible shifts you can make today to live a cleaner, more conscious life—from the inside out.

What does sustainability have to do with your self-worth and mental health?

Monica doesn’t just talk eco-living—she lives it, with purpose, resilience, and a deep commitment to healing. In this conversation, we explore how your outer world reflects your inner work—and why it all starts with intention.
